So, with great enthusiasm I launched the Center for Plants & Culture. The Center for Plants & Culture is an online platform educating visitors on the many ways our politics, economics, and culture are shaped by nature. With a focus on Black, Brown, and Indigenous voices, Plants & Culture provides an inclusive learning experience that encourages critical thinking and self-reflection. https://alexandriadouziech.com/jatrophacurcas daily 0.75 2025-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/b0276527-21e9-4337-8dc4-885961d244f9/BOAT2.jpg Jatropha curcas (or what my auntie calls the physic nut tree) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/c75856a6-11ff-44fb-98c3-86fa7c4df05f/02_Jatropha.jpg Jatropha curcas (or what my auntie calls the physic nut tree) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/421f7d51-a8c7-4e56-9b58-c7c43e57f57d/Jatrophacurcas_install.jpg Jatropha curcas (or what my auntie calls the physic nut tree) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/dbf213bf-a3b2-47c5-9100-2202e7bd63cd/sm+IMG_3172.jpg Jatropha curcas (or what my auntie calls the physic nut tree) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/b5d5c57d-3d2d-4e34-a95b-3c852ff320b8/sm+detail1.jpg Jatropha curcas (or what my auntie calls the physic nut tree) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/7c5b32d6-5008-4022-b4d6-0a3d76a69dcf/Douziech_Jatropha_Install_2.jpg Jatropha curcas (or what my auntie calls the physic nut tree) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/1e422380-611e-48c5-be34-121ac64c4b53/01_Jatropha.jpg Jatropha curcas (or what my auntie calls the physic nut tree) - Make it stand out Jatropha curcas (or what my auntie calls the physic nut tree) 2022 Dinghy boat, handmade wood platform and vitrines, Jatropha curcas plants, iPads, video of piercing the trunk of Jatropha curcas and the tree’s blood red sap, video of Jatropha curcas leaves blowing in the wind, video of extracting oil (biofuel) from Jatropha curcas nuts; audio recording of Guyanese auntie sharing how Jatropha curcas rids the body of evil, speaker, botanical prints, botanical books, cooking pot, dried Jatropha leaves and nuts, and Jatropha decotion in glass bottles Approx. 8'x 4' x 6.5’ Designed as both a sculpture and mobile exhibition, Jatropha curcas (or what my auntie calls the physic nut tree), tracks the plant’s evolution from Obeah spiritual and medicinal remedy, to colonial import, to Christian symbol, to “miracle” biofuel. The dinghy boat serves as the base for the piece, referencing the ships that carried these plants across the world. By utilizing natural history and botanical modes of display, the project references European colonization and collecting, while emphasizing what can’t be contained: the sound of my auntie’s voice (discussing her beliefs around Jatropha) and the plants themselves.

Dimensions vary Comprised of over 100 tracings of articles, logos, diagrams, and personal accounts, this work follows sugar from the hands of the cane cutter to the hands of corporate entities around the world. Through the act of tracing, this work is a slow study—or meditation—on this resource that links my Guyanese family to the country of my citizenship. My mother grew up on a sugarcane plantation in Guyana. She was raised primarily by my great grandmother—the cane cutter. My mother’s written reflection is at the core of this work. From the descriptions of the razor-like leaves of the cane, to the taste of raw cane juice, these personal accounts counter the cool objectivity of the processing, marketing, and distributing of sugar in the UK (Tate and Lyle) and in the US (American Sugar Refinery). This work extends from the body of the worker, to the consumer, to product sales—all of which are so implicitly tied. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/1647900686961-FUNGZVJTOX179R0BNETT/INSTALL16+copy.jpg Retracing Narratives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/1647900723040-DQPIY5N8VB4IOC21KB4X/INSTALL9+copy.jpg Retracing Narratives https://alexandriadouziech.com/36years daily 0.75 2025-03-21 https://alexandriadouziech.com/pursuitofgold daily 0.75 2025-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/2b067204-8443-473d-a042-4d3d9b4535f7/StraightenedPursuitofGold.jpg Pursuit of Gold - Make it stand out Pursuit of Gold 2016 Wood, personal photographs (open-pit Amazonian goldmine, gold bars, Tate Britain, Tate & Lyle factories; store-bought refined sugar), El Dorado rum, Certification of Completion from the El Dorado rum distillery in Guyana, Tate & Lyle Demerara sugar from Guyana, Lyle's golden syrup, audio recordings of my mother talking about life on a sugar plantation, Tate & Lyle promo videos on corn syrup and ethanol production, Tate & Lyle dextrose, and books ("The Discovery of the Large, Rich, Beautiful Empire of Guiana" and "Maize for the Gods: Unearthing the 9,000-Year History of Corn" 7’ x 10’ 9” x 8 Pursuit of Gold connects my ancestors and me to the transnational and agricultural corporation, Tate and Lyle, as a means to convey a genealogical tree in the globalist era. The work follows the many paths taken by the sugar my Guyanese family harvested, touching upon the present and colonial search for riches (or “El Dorado”). Using a wooden structure representative of my father’s vocation as a carpenter, the two-by-fours become lines that illustrate the conceptual connections between photographs (printed on sugarcane paper) and store-bought goods, such as refined sugar and distilled rum. At the heart of the structure is an audio recording of my mother talking about her life on a Guyanese sugar plantation. By highlighting the interconnectivity of each element, I’m able to show the pervasiveness of colonial and capitalistic reach—where no facet is left untouched. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/1647901282966-HMV0MIJVWR28BBB5AON5/2croppedEDITEDrightside+copy.jpg Pursuit of Gold https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/1647901282467-Q7H1U7SLR8PP7PR6MRDF/FINALeditedgoldmine+copy+2.jpg Pursuit of Gold https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/1647901325909-MMLNCCRQCDNVE18RV695/FINALFEET+copy.jpg Pursuit of Gold https://alexandriadouziech.com/whitewashedbotany daily 0.75 2025-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/b7e20924-f3f6-4b0c-8660-227a72cf3fe7/w_DETAIL2+copy.jpg Whitewashed Botany - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/ec380805-b5c3-49a6-8a26-13ef5fa7ab12/Whitewashed+Botany+Install+.jpg Whitewashed Botany - Make it stand out Whitewashed Botany 2021 Metal storage cases, lights, prints, photographs, laser-cut quotes, preserved sugarcane, cocoa pods, cocoa seeds, coffee beans, Coffea arabica specimen, cinchona bark, coco-de-mer, specimen jars, and herbarium tape 14'x 3' x 6.5' Installation at the UCLA Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden. Whitewashed Botany is an intro into botany’s buried past. Referencing institutional display and storage, metal cases serve as a repository, housing quotes, prints, and objects stripped of their original context. Unlike most botanical displays, plants that have long been collected, cataloged, and capitalized on are shown beside images of peoples whose labor and contributions are rarely acknowledged within scientific circles. Elements are linked using specimen tape, signifying ownership and the inextricable connection between natural history, big business, and colonialism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/b85a1779-022d-46e5-9eb7-55667daf42af/warmerimage.jpg Whitewashed Botany - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/d0abf520-1717-4950-8574-ce9f9c703e9f/DISPLAY_PEOPLE.jpg Whitewashed Botany - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/758a0225-ff66-425f-a67a-e9e218f368cb/DEATAIL7+copy.jpg Whitewashed Botany - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/acdf4e93-a6b5-4bbc-b165-8fb2eb4fc272/DETAIL11+copy.jpg Whitewashed Botany - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/572310f3-4573-435d-8d40-907b6a1ec8cd/LIGHTER1STIMAGE.jpg Whitewashed Botany - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/42770285-078b-4e24-8880-3af87b9acb1a/Detail5.jpg Whitewashed Botany - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://alexandriadouziech.com/the-bricklayer daily 0.75 2024-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/68c45204-1869-4861-a125-cce524b7523b/final+Douziech_Alexandria_Bricklayer_2016.jpg The Bricklayer Bricklayer 2016 Photograph Photograph from Fort Zeelandia, Guyana… Under Dutch rule, enslaved Africans were forced to build this platform with the knowledge that it would be used for the auctioning of other enslaved peoples.

This large-scale installation recalls how my Guyanese auntie would burn camphor resin (from the tree Cinnamomum camphora) over charcoal briquettes to protect “all us kids” from “the evil eye.” As visitors walk inside a blackened hexagonal greenhouse, they're surrounded by charcoal covered walls lined with camphor branches. The medicinal and earthy scent of camphor fills the air as viewers hear a recording of my voice sharing stories of how my family has used this tree to defend, heal, and bless. Originating in India and East Asia, the ritual of burning camphor came to the Caribbean with enslaved and indentured laborers—further shaped by Indigenous, Vodou, and Obeah traditions. Whether or not one believes in “evil” or a plant’s ability to ward it off, this continued practice as an incredible act of love, resiliency, and defiance that’s survived the colonial whitewashing of plants and culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/d59217e4-6d32-42d4-91ce-13c471c80eb5/croppedgreenhouse6.jpg For protection, with love - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/1965bf78-4fcb-490e-bb96-6b0789bee8a0/sm_for+protection+with+love.jpg For protection, with love - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/841c6dec-71de-4c38-99f9-71b151a0a08b/Ceiling.jpg For protection, with love - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/9159b1ea-2c0e-41a5-88ad-9f9b16ac5bb4/Detail1.jpg For protection, with love - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/ae9ca761-809e-47fb-a159-259c0bcbeae6/Interior.jpg For protection, with love - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/65855e7c-8e9e-496c-b84c-746170e566e9/Detail2.jpg For protection, with love - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://alexandriadouziech.com/burningcamphor daily 0.75 2024-10-10 https://alexandriadouziech.com/home-supply daily 0.75 2024-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c34c25f8baf377c203b39b/1455838283317-MEUSYYI21PRMTL4XMVXS/image-asset.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c34c25f8baf377c203b39b/1455838269055-NBS99QH7B70NMM5O2A37/image-asset.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c34c25f8baf377c203b39b/1455829424551-3YRCGB8XGEF49MEF1CHJ/hero-sale.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c34c25f8baf377c203b39b/1455830022243-DBVKC18UBU9JI69MAFI4/hero-lookbook.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c34c25f8baf377c203b39b/1455827890845-U4JTHU2U7KBFHXMI8990/hero-new.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c34c25f8baf377c203b39b/1455828939944-6BK18YBX1662GY4JON6N/hero-bags.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c34c25f8baf377c203b39b/1455839224483-6HI776S63R2CD48EVX3I/image-asset.jpeg Home https://alexandriadouziech.com/carriers daily 1.0 2025-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/1736454439020-0FAHYPTSQWYSPB4RQ1QU/Douziech_Alexandria_01.jpg Carriers - Carriers 2024 Carriers is a sculpture and video installation that honors both historical and contemporary women who sustain the world through agriculture. Drawing on my family’s history with cash crops and plantation labor, the work offers a deeply personal perspective on food production. At the heart of Carriers is a large net made from rice, wheat, corn, sugarcane, soy, palm, banana, pineapple, coconut, sorghum, hemp, and flax fibers. I enlisted the expertise of artist Portia Roy, who used a traditional spinning wheel to transform the fibers into nearly 1,000 feet of cordage. I then wove the ropes into a 15' x 30' cargo net, designed to be suspended from the ceiling of the LAVC Gallery. The labor-intensive process of interweaving these plant fibers speaks to both the interconnectedness of global crops and the often overlooked, quiet labor inherent in "women’s work." An accompanying video documents the meticulous preparation of these plant fibers—peeling sugarcane, washing palm fibers, and shredding wheat stalks—alongside the spinning and weaving process. Personal quotes from women around the world help tie these activities to broader themes, reflecting on women as carriers of plant knowledge, seeds, crops, and families. Incorporating elements of knitting and weaving, Carriers pushes the boundaries of traditional craft to create a conceptual object that merges personal stories with research. The net and video not only highlight women as providers and makers but also expose the harsh realities within our food system. Despite comprising nearly 85% of the rural workforce, women in agriculture face underpayment, overwork, and disproportionate impacts from the climate crisis. This installation serves as a tribute to these women, as well as a stark reminder of the persistent discrimination, lack of land rights, and exploitation they endure while feeding the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/1736454455088-BWLR6W3PBOYSCMLOSZY1/Douziech_Alexandria_03.jpg Carriers - Carriers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/1736454476247-YM484YSR0S1IQ3W0FX1B/Douziech_Carriers_1.jpg Carriers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/1736454439872-37AUHO8PTCIYR0RG37BH/Douziech_Alexandria_02.jpg Carriers - Carriers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/2551580d-a94e-40f4-9cf1-06dad47e5961/Attempt19.jpg Carriers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/42f04e4a-422d-447e-8687-b331d668d2b5/Attempt20.jpg Carriers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/a0e7b799-c8a7-4f2e-8b28-02b0ff76ad23/Douziech_Carriers_1.jpg Carriers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/cdd2bc5a-cd4f-4615-bed2-2ad6fa61ca64/Douziech_Alexandria_02.jpg Carriers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://alexandriadouziech.com/35years daily 0.75 2024-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559f299ce4b0deeae8ec5e90/1590341125804-B5UJLO8KCHHOPI22CG7Y/P1044063.jpeg 35 Years - 35 Years 2017 Red oak flooring boards, paper, wood stain, and thread.
